Subject: staging: vt6656: revert : 64 bit- Correctly address void structure.
From: Malcolm Priestley <[email protected]>
commit d61ac98a4bd86b3217f0c6e058bd0b3a3282899b upstream.
The patch is wrong and is partially reverted.
The NULL check of pTransmitKey->pvKeyTable is kept.
The problem was ultimately fixed by upstream commit.
